Survey: 42 Beauty Questions.

Hey everyone :)

I just placed an order with ACW, MAC and my third Aromaleigh order so far, so expect reviews/posts soon! (I promise I'll have the Aromaleigh review up before the end of the week, it's been gorgeous out here & I've been kind of overwhelmed with all the things I've wanted to do. :( )

Anyway, I got these questions from one of the lovely blogs I follow, The Yummy Mummy's Beauty Blog. (Please do check her blog out, I love it!)


Skincare:

1)How many times do you wash your face daily?
Normally twice, but sometimes I slip up and wind up using a makeup remover cloth at the end of the day. I really hate splashing cold water on my face for some reason so I prefer washing my face in the shower. I know, I'm weird.

2)What skin type do you have?
I'm almost positive I'm normal, but I've been seeing more of the 'dry' side that an Estee Lauder SA pointed out months ago.

3)What is your current facial wash?
An Estee Lauder Foaming Cleanser. I switch it up a lot though, I'm still trying to find my 'holy grail' face wash. I constantly get freaked out that products are going to break my skin out.

4)Do you exfoliate?
Yes, when I remember to..

5)What brand do you use?
Normally the Neutrogena Wave.

6)What moisturiser do you use?
I don't have one at the moment, the Estee Lauder one I purchased feels odd on my skin and I'm not a fan. I've been 'borrowing' my mom's, but that can't be good.. it's anti-aging and I'm only nineteen.

7)Do you have freckles?
Very randomly placed ones, and they're always in pairs of two. I only have one on my face.

8)Do you use eye cream?
No, although I probably should.

9)Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I do break out from time to time, but my skin is clear for the most part.

10)Did you ever have to use Pro-Activ?
Nawh, although I always wanted it for some reason.

Make-up:

11)What foundation do you use?
MAC N4. Yes, I'm oddly pale. This has been the only foundation I've used for the past year, and I love it.

12)How about concealer?
For my entire face I switch between Rimmel and Covergirl True Match. For under-eyes, I use the Neutrogena twist-up thingy.

13)Do you know your undertone colour?
Honestly, no idea.

14)What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I've only worn them twice - Halloween & prom. I have no issue with them, I just don't feel the need to put them on everyday. They can really complete some looks, though.

15)Did you know you were supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes, but I don't. Probably every 6 months or so. I use way too many at once to keep up.

16)What brand of mascara do you use?
Diorshow, but lately I've been layering Too Faced's Lash Injection ontop of UD's Skyscraper Lashes.

17)Sephora or Mac?
Such a hard choice.. I'd have to go with Sephora, only because they always have something no matter my price range.

18)Do you have a Mac Pro card?
Nawh.

19)What makeup tools do you use in makeup application?
Tons of brushes. I just started using a brush for my foundation and concealer, and I'm so happy with the results. It looks a million times better.

20)Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
Yes, either UD's Primer Potion or TF's Shadow Insurance. I've been trying out my Aromaleigh primer though, and I quite like it so far. :)

21)For the face?
Rarely. I do love Smashbox's Photo Finish primer & BE's Prime Time. Usually I'm doing my looks at night, before going out, so they don't need to stay super-long.

22)What is your favourite eyeshadow?colour or shade?
I buy bright stuff constantly - I just can't seem to 'love' neutral colors. If I had to take a guess, I'd say I have the most purple, blue and green in my collection. They're gorgeous colors to look at, but I rarely wear them.. I've been trying to do brighter looks lately so they can get some use.

23)Do you use pencil or liquid liner?
Neither, I'm loving potted cream liners at the moment. I keep switching between MAC, Stila and L'Oreal's HIP liners.. I feel like you get more control applying with a small brush compared to a pencil.

24)How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
I used to quite a bit. I don't use them much anymore, but I think I've gotten better at it. :p

25)What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I love them. My MAC pigments kinda chill in my train case at the moment, but the Aromaleigh shadows I've ordered recently have been quite a blessing - they've completely helped my shading. (Which, god knows, needed all the help it could get.)

26)Do you use mineral makeup?
Not foundation, no. I adore mineral eyeshadow though. I do own a few jars of BE, but I find it's super time consuming to put each layer on. (also horrid for touch-ups.)

27)What is your favourite lipstick?
I'm a sucker for nudes and light pinks. MAC's Myth and Hard Candy's Fire Alarm are my favorite lipsticks so far. I have Viva La Glam Gaga on the way, hopefully it'll be a win.

28?How about lipgloss?
I really don't wear it much.. I feel as though it all disappears less than ten minutes after I apply. I own dozens of mini MAC dazzleglasses and what not from the holiday collections that get way less use than they should.

29)What is your favourite blush to use?
I used MAC's 'Dolly' for the winter, but NAR's Orgasm is my go-to favorite.

30)Do you buy your makeup on Ebay?
No, after doing a few quick searches for some MAC products, I never would. I get far too worked up seeing all the counterfeits being sold & wouldn't have the patience to sit and sort through them all.

31)Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes! I'm actually on the search right now for my perfect drugstore lipstick color - I can't seem to find any good nudes. The only thing I absolutely hate is when you can't see the lipstick color - the labels are almost always off.

32)Do you go to CCO's?Cosmetic Company Outlet?
I'm still waiting to go. It's about an hour away, so hopefully soon.

33)Did you ever consider taking makeup classes?
Yes, I'm actually going to be starting cosmetology school in the fall. I would like to find a school that specializes in makeup though, as I have no interest doing hair and would hate to waste $15k on it.

34)Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Eyeshadow, yes. I always seem to get fall-out..

35)Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Blue eyeshadow/red lip combo. Also when your makeup blatantly doesn't look good with what you're wearing.. great examples of this at the Oscars. (I forget who it was, but she was in a blue/green dress with coral lips. It looked hideous.)

36)Do you like colourful shades of makeup (lipstick or eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
The more color the better when it comes to my eyes. I do enjoy neutral shades of lipstick though, I don't think I could pull off anything else.

37)Which celebrity always has great makeup?
Kim and Khloe Kardashian.

38)If you could leave the house using just ONE makeup item, what would you use?
Eyeliner or foundation.. depends on how my skin is looking that day. :)

39)Could you leave the house without any makeup on?
I do that quite often, actually.

40)Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
No, not at all. I may think I look good (or at least decent) but as soon as a photo is taken I'm like OHMYGOSH get me to my makeup bag.

41)In your opinion what is the BEST makeup line?
Such a tough choice. I have way too many favorites sprawled out across many makeup lines, so I'm not going to choose.

42)What do you think of makeup?
I absolutely LOVE it. I'm going to sound like a crazy, but I have just sat around and swatched things from my collection for fun. I love the excited feeling I get when I place an order or pick up some more products at the mall.
